The Gay Alphabet

I’m not entirely sure that, as a heterosexual woman, I am allowed to post a link to the gay alphabet. But I couldn’t resist. It was developed to poke (gentle?) fun at those who fear that gay people will recruit children into a life of homosexuality. I wonder when this flat-earth thinking will disappear, when people will understand that we’re born with our sexuality. “Choice” doesn’t really come into the equation.

The warped logic sort of makes sense. Society has done such an excellent job of forcing people into gender roles that people who are homophobic fear that sexuality can be forced too. There is no proof of this, but, as the kids say today, whatev.

To be clear, this is the GAY alphabet not the GLBT alphabet. I think my favorite is J=Julie Andrews
